Unlocking finance for clean energy: The need for ‘investment grade’ policy

This briefing paper looks at what policy needs to deliver to provide the conditions for scaled up investment in renewable energy, drawing on work with leading mainstream financiers. It covers some of the fundamental issues at the heart of investment decisions, and the importance of policy design and clear evidence that governments are serious about their policy goals and achieving them. This paper contributed to a major body of work taken on by the Capital Markets Climate Initiative in the UK (see following resource).
